Breakfast in hotel.
Morning: Departure to San Lorenzo in Campo by bus - 45 km from Pesaro - among the colorful hills of the Marche region, in the valley of the Cesano river. The birth of the inhabited center of San Lorenzo in Campo can be traced back to the nearby Roman city of Suasa, and to the phases linked to its abandonment. Between the eighth and the ninth century the monastic institutions recreated the conditions for a social revival of the territories, and around the ninth century the Benedictine Monastery led a reorganization of the valley with reclamation works and agricultural exploitation.The first inhabited settlements, born in the nearby of the monastery, turned soon into a real fortified village. Francesco Sforza and Sigismondo Malatesta alternate occupations followed one another. After that it was the time of Della Rovere and de’ Medici family until the Pope definitively restored its dominion. Visit of the Benedictine Abbey of San Lorenzo in Campo, a majestic Romanesque-Gothic building.

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, it is the seat of the National Gallery of the Marche and it hosts two extremely famous paintings: La Flagellazione by Piero della Francesca and La Città Ideale by an unknown artist.
